Macho Wars

"The third child, you can't be arrogant in war."

"Then you can't look forward and backward like you! Our brothers are all people who have been to the Central Military Academy and have fought, knowing that fighters are fleeting. Some of you don't want to fight, afraid that you won't win. That's good! People go with me, and whoever of our troops enter the palace first, whoever becomes the emperor, what do you think?"

Regardless of the face of Filavy who was sitting in the first place, the three princes patted the table to bring up the rhythm. Several princes who were with him also followed suit, so some were agitated.

Firavi could only helplessly shook his head, and made a shrug of his shoulders like a surrender.

"Okay! Since you are so high-minded to fight, let's try to fight a little bit to put a little military pressure on the people in the central government. At least let the Senate group understand that we are not joking?"

Seeing that Firavi also expressed his stance, and the other major princes no longer objected, the meeting quickly determined a combat plan to use the forces of the three divisions to take down the important transportation hub of the imperial capital's train station.

The three princes volunteered to let the troops he brought to attack.

The main railway station is a place of great significance. It is not just a transportation hub. There are also large material warehouses. At the same time, you can quickly reach the Central Military Academy, the General Administration of Weaponry and other important facilities via the two-story ring railway.Whoever can occupy this place is equivalent to surrounding the entire imperial capital.

Firavi did not compete with the Three Princes for the main attack, and even distributed some shells to the Three Princes from the ammunition reserve of his seventh division.

When the meeting was over, Filavi returned to his camp, and the adjutant Astor delivered an encrypted telegram to him.Philavie only glanced at it, then silently twisted the telegram into a ball and threw it into the stove.

"Has General Howard gone there?"

"Already gone, in accordance with your highness, we will send someone to pass the letter secretly to him when you are in the meeting, and it is already on the way."

"That's good, if there is no old man on the other side, it is estimated that it will not last a few days. It is a pity that the First Marine Division, what a good unit! That Dragoon is a rare general, it is a pity!"

From the first time I saw Dragon, the "talent-gathering fetish" Philavi really wanted to recruit the other party to his side. However, after showing his favor several times, he found that Dragon did not respond to his kindness. , But took the initiative to lean towards the old emperor and Howard. He immediately understood what the other party meant. He wanted to be a pure minister without standing in line, so he no longer took the initiative to draw in.

When the old emperor died, the entire emperor was in chaos. The commander of the First Marine Division, Kane, was placed under house arrest by the Queen Mother, while Dragoon, who was in the army, was as stable as Mount Tai and remained motionless throughout the entire process. This attitude is very interesting.

Therefore, for Dragon and his First Marine Division, even if their combat effectiveness is indeed strong, Firavi did not regard them as a threat at first.

But now the situation is different. The 25th Division, the "two or five of the enemy, my pig teammate", successfully stabbed the hornet's nest, instantly turning the Marine Division 1 from a harmless "neutral monster" into a hostile red name. status.

Whenever he thinks of this, Felavi has the urge to scold the eleventh prince and the commander of the 25th division. You are so okay to provoke the First Marine Division!?

Fortunately, this accident did not interfere with Firavi's plan, and the progress of his subordinates was very smooth. Then, as long as you try to cooperate with the third prince, let him, the "big wild boar", hit the tree fiercely!

Chapter 419

Instigated by the three princes, the prince group that was in a confrontation quickly adjusted the deployment of the troops they brought. Except for the 7th Armored Division directly under Firavi, which was used as the general reserve because it was not suitable for urban operations, The remaining four divisions are all ready to go into battle.

Compared with the troops of the Central Military Region, these elites from the border are not inferior in terms of weaponry and training, and because they often face border conflicts, officers and soldiers generally have certain practical experience.

In the early morning of the 28th, a regiment of the 35th Division of the Imperial Group quickly crossed the Dujuan River in the west of the city under the cover of night and rain, firing the first shot of the battle, symbolizing the beginning of the second round of military conflict in the imperial capital.

The three princes who are in charge of commanding this battle don't even think that he is a brash man who advocates pigs' rapid progress, but he has one advantage, that is, he is aware of his shortcomings that he is not good at using his brain, so he trusts his confidants very much.These staff officers are indeed very capable, and they have formulated a fairly reliable combat plan.

Therefore, the initial stage of the operation went smoothly. The three-way prince army used its superior force to directly penetrate the weak underbelly of the defending army, and took advantage of the favorable terrain without any effort, forming a three-pronged position against the main train station.

In the palace at this time, Howard, who had just returned because of the breakdown of negotiations, had just returned, and he learned that the Imperial Army had launched an offensive, and the goal was directed at the main train station.

In desperation, Howard, who had been tired for several days, hurried to the Central Military Building without being tired.When he arrived at the headquarters, the generals in the command post were clamoring.Howard's face sank when he saw it, and apart from anything else he drew out the pistol from the adjutant's waist, raised his hand and exploded the vase in the corner.In the huge command post, the gun became silent.

"What's the noise? Has the sky fallen!?"

"General, we..."

"Chief of General Staff! Give me the battle report immediately, and ask your people to mark the situation of the rebels on the sand table and on the map. Inform our troops near the warring area to immediately reinforce the front line and organize a counterattack first. To contain the opponent’s offensive momentum..."

Ignoring the generals who looked at each other, Howard directly gave orders to the staff of the command. With clear and capable orders, the entire command quickly entered the state under his command and began to play his role as the army’s brain. Some functions.

Howard glanced at the generals who had consciously stepped aside, and couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.Howard knew all of them, many of them had worked together, and some of them were simply juniors he pulled up with one hand.

Recall that when these high-ranking generals were young, who was not an outstanding talent selected from a hundred, or a hero who fought in a sea of ​​blood.With ambitions, they wanted to create a career, and ended up in the big dyeing vat of the imperial capital, but in the end they were corroded into the unbearable appearance they are now.

Seeing them all rotten, Howard's heart was also broken!

Perhaps the country’s problem lies in a deeper level. Simply introducing fresh blood is not enough to rejuvenate her.

At this time Howard noticed Kane not far away, but his partner Dragon was not here.

"Kane, come here."

"General, you call me?"

"Where's Dragon? Where did he go?"

"I, I asked him to go back to the teacher's room. No one can sit there."

"He's in the First Marine Division?"

"Yes."

"Thank God, I finally heard some good news today. Signalman! Connect me to the First Marine Division immediately."

Soon, the call from the command center was connected to the Division Headquarters of the First Marine Division. According to previous feedback, they did not engage the enemy here. The 22nd Division on the opposite side remained motionless, but Howard passed the command to the area near the main train station. The battle was analyzed and it was inferred that the 22nd Division had transferred at least 2-3 regiments to participate in the battle here.

This means that the current Marine First Division is actually confronting only half of the 22nd Division on the opposite side.

So after the call was connected, Howard asked Dragon straightforwardly how long his troops needed to prepare to launch an attack. Dragon pondered a little and replied very simply.

"five minutes."

"Then call me! There is half a teacher across from you."

"Yes!"

Hanging up Howard's call, Dragon looked back at the officers gearing behind him, grinning evilly.

"Execute the second set of plans and beat them up!"

"Yes! Sir!"

Offense is always the best defense. Dragoon, who believes in this, had formulated two combat plans with the characteristics of the Marines as early as when he just returned.

Option One: Counterattack across the board as soon as the enemy launches an offensive.

The second plan is to strike a preemptive strike without waiting for the enemy to attack.

Since Shangfeng had the intention to fight, Dragon immediately gave an order to let the artillery units that had been ready to fire first.During the previous standoff, Roebuck’s strong reconnaissance brigade was not idle. The scouts they sent had already figured out the deployment of the enemy’s positions. The artillery directly greeted the targets marked on the map. Up.

The first round of shelling lasted twenty minutes. Although it did not cause much casualties to the enemy, it caused them a lot of panic.Because the 22nd Division, just as Howard had guessed, had secretly transferred most of the division's troops to the west, leaving two regiments to sing "Empty City Plan" here.

As a result, with the active attack of the First Marine Division, the blindness of the 22nd Division was seen on the spot, and the empty line of positions was soon breached by the Marines who rushed up.

In less than thirty minutes, the two regiments of the 22nd Division were defeated on the spot by the dominant Marine Division.After Dragon reported to the headquarters, Howard gave a new order for the flanks to roundabout as he expected. The attack did not need to be too hard, as long as the opponent felt the threat from the side.

So under the command of Dragon, the First Marine Division, with the armored regiment as the forward, moved quickly along the ring line to the west of the city, and soon contacted the flank of the Imperial Army.
